Yaxham Light
Railway is a privately-owned collection of narrow gauge locomotives,
rolling stock and track in the gardens of the former
station master's house at Yaxham Station on the Dereham to Wymondham
railway line.
The railway
is some 400 metres of track adjacent to the former BR line, now
operated by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust.
Yaxham Light
Railway operates an interesting collection of industrial railway
equipment acquired over the years from quarries and other locations
throughout the country.
This includes two steam locomotives
and 10 diesel locomotives, running on 2 ft gauge track (600 mm).
Passenger trains are usually hauled by a variety of vintage diesel
locomotives. The trains can carry up to 18 adults on each journey,
lasting 10 minutes.

Though the
line is not generally open to the public, organiser Colin Newman
says they do encourage groups to book the railway for a half or
full day and participate in driving the diesel locomotives,
under supervision.
